Lewis-Gibson : Legal document

Lewis-Gibson

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Pages from a collection of legal documents. The first document on f. 1r is in a different, cruder, hand to the rest, and is probably dated 186 (= 1426 CE). The remainder of the documents are more carefully written, and concern a woman, Miriam bat Sālim and her betrothal (or lack thereof) to Yaḥya b. Yaḥya. They are dated from 1414 to 1416 and have the elaborate signatures of rabbis from Yemen.</p>
